Feel the difference in perfectly-reproduced HD with the PLENUE R, the next evolution in the PLENUE line. The PLENUE R is equipped with the PCM5242 digital-to-analog converter (DAC), designed for high-end hi-fi audio systems, to deliver superb quality sound. It features Texas Instruments' latest hyper-advanced current-segment architecture and superior DirectPath conversion performance to faithfully reproduce not only 24bit, 192 kHz PCM sources, but high-definition resolution DSD and DXD sources as well. One requirement for achieving perfect sound is a high-performance amplifier that is optimally compatible with high-end receivers. Texas Instruments' high-performance SoundPlus amplifier delivers high voltage while maintaining the highest level of linearity-a significant step up in audio technologies from existing versions of amplifiers. The amplifier generates powerful performance capable of driving high-end headphones with high impedance without the need for a separate headphone amplifier. Now, sophisticated and precise sound tuning makes it possible to clearly express any frequency range in combination with a variety of receivers. The PLENUE R supports aptX, a high-quality audio codec that provides higher compression efficiency and superior sound quality compared to conventional SBC codec Bluetooth transmission. You can now enjoy PLENUE R through any earphones, headphones, or speakers that support Bluetooth, and the application of JetEffect 7's powerful acoustic field via Bluetooth output means you can savor rich sound quality with greater variety.
